First of all, it’s important that you live in one of the big cities, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad or New York, London, Paris and a few others. Next, you need to be serious, have a consistent and good body of work, work that is new, contemporary, interesting and current. If you have […]

Sridevi (1963-2018) is as good as it gets. Over the last fifty years, acting in 300 movies from the age of four, the six-time Filmfare Award-winning actress and Padma Shri awardee has portrayed so many interesting and versatile characters starring in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi films that it’s hard to choose only one […]

Im not waging a war against the world. The world is not a hostile, hateful place where the doors always remain shut. These are not my list of enemies : 1. The general public does not ‘get’ or love my art as much as they should. 2. Art magazines are off limits to upcoming artists […]

Tonight is Maha Shivaratri. If there’s one Hindu god who’s both revered and looks a little bit like a rockstar, it’s Lord Shiva. He’s the annihilator of evil and the granter of wisdom. Here’s a quick look at 11 life lessons we can learn from this divine long-haired superhero who wears a snake around his […]

Many of the century’s greatest artists – Kandinsky, Klee, Matisse, Picasso, Miró and Dubuffet – had sizeable collections of artwork by children. They studied and imitated the spontaneous and wilful distortions of children’s pictures as though, like dreams, they offered a royal road to the unconscious.

‘How Are You Feeling Today?’ is something I drew last week and it records my emotions on that particular day. I always say ‘I’m fine’, whenever anyone asks me how I’m doing.

If you are like me, then you probably hate the ‘do not touch’, ‘no photography allowed’, ‘do not sit here’ signs as much as I do. I like to actively engage with my surroundings, be it while traveling or viewing art. And, that’s why I’m so in love with public art. So, when Virtuous Retail […]

HELLO!

My name is Sapna Dube and I'm an artist who also writes. This site won the 'Best Arts & Theatre Blog Award' at the Indian Blogger Awards in Dec 2017. I’m one of the Top 100 entrepreneurs selected from across India by the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIM-B) for incubation of my art-related business idea as part of Women Startup Programme 2018, supported by Department of Science and Technology – Government of India and Goldman Sachs. In sharing my work via my art journal, I let you ride along with me on my explorative journey. I like sharing my perspectives on the creative thought process and here you will see how I use mind mapping and free association techniques to come up with artistic concepts.My work is not just what I create in my studio. It is a reflection of every person I meet, a revisit of every place I go to, a recall of every sentiment I feel and a remnant of my everyday experiences. My work is my worldview.
